DEAR SIR: 
Please forward this immediately to the Chairman of your Club Handicap Committee. 
This report must be returned not later than: 


Mail it addressed to: 


» 


We remind you that there are many clubs in the Association and that we cannot hope 
to succeed in our work unless the reports are sent in promptly. 

All handicaps returned on this report should be based on Par, and should be calculated 
in accordance with the system set forth on the next page. However clubs may arrive at 
handicaps for club events, it is evident that an association handicap list will be valueless 
unless all the clubs without exception make their returns according to the same method. 
Therefore, please follow all directions carefully.

The above figures are arbitrary, except that due allowance should be made for any 
culiarity in the configuration of the ground or for unusual conditions, For example, a 
unker guarding a putting green on a hole 230 yards long (with a local rule permitting the 
ball to be lifted) would make the hole par 4. A 375 yard hole up a steep hill would be a 
par of 4% or 5. A 450 yard hole down hill might be a par 4. But, except in some such 
case, the par depends upon the length of the hole. If on any hole the par is more or 
less than the official par, state the reason under ‘‘Remarks.’? Each hole should be meas- 
ured from centre of tee to centre of green, following the surface of the ground.

IV CALKINS SYSTEM FOR CALCULATING HANDICAPS BASED ON PAR. 


“The principal feature of this system is that not only is the good player handicapped 
because he is a good player, but the bad player is also handicapped because he is a bad 
player. The reason is this: ‘The object of handicapping is to put all players on the same 
level, and if an allowance of a certain number of strokes is to be made to the less skillful 
player because he cannot play as well, some allowance ought to be made to the more skill- 
ful player because he cannot improve as much. The old method of handicapping, in all 
cases on the exact difference between the Par for the links and the average of a player’s 
three best scores, takes into consideration only the advantage held by the good player, 
namely, his superior skill. It overlooks the advantage held by the bad player, namely, a 
greater possibility of improvement. Theoretically a club handicap list should be so made up 
that each player has as good a chance to win as any other, but no better, whenever a com- 
petition is held. But, as handicaps cannot be readjusted daily, it is evident that the chances 
will not really be equalized unless some measure is taken of relative probabilities of im- 
provement in play. It is fairly well proved by actual results in handicap events, that the 
scratch player and the player with a low handicap has not, under the old methods of 
handicapping, as good a chance to win as the player with a high handicap. This system 
tends to make the chances of all players more nearly equal.”’

(Form of Handicap Report—Concluded.) 
IN APPLYING THE SYSTEM, FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS: 


(1) The first thing to do is to ascertain each player’s Best Score Average. This does 
not mean his average game, but his average best game. No player should have any chance 
to win a handicap event, except when playing in his best form. For example, a scratch 
man is sometimes off his game, playing perhaps six or eight strokes above his true form. 
But it is evident that a handicap list will be worse than useless if it attempts to make any 
allowance for the tendency—common to all players—to fall off, at one time or another, 
from true form. If such an allowance were to be made it would be imperative to provide 
machinery for the automatic reduction of the handicap of a player upon his sudden and 
unexpected arrival at his real form. For the same reason a club handicapper should never 
raise a player’s handicap, until he proves by constant competition through the whole or 
greater part of a season that his play is permanently inferior to what it was and not that 
he is only temporarily off his game. 

The Best Score Average means a player’s average best game, If, for example, the Par 
of your links is 72, and a player made last season a 75, a 76 and a 77, his best score 
average would be 76. The same would be true if he also made 72 once, since an exception- 
ally low score, not duplicated, may be disregarded. In general, this Best Score Average is 
obtained by taking the average of a player’s best three scores. 

(2) _ We suggest that you mail at once reply-postals to your members, asking them to 
state their five best scores, in competition and in practice rounds, during the past season. 
‘This is necessary if you have not preserved your club records: and even if you have, it is 
advisable, since it will give you practice-round scores. We suggest this form of request: 
“Members of this club desiring M. G. A. ratings will please report promptly on the reply 
card their five best scores during the past season, stating whether the scores were made in 
competition or during practice rounds.” If you have a player’s five best scores, you can 
average the three best, disregarding an exceptional score, if any. 

_ (3) If you get no information as to a player’s record during the past season, but 
know something about him from previous seasons, you are perhaps justified in calculating 
his Best Score Average from your general knowledge as to his game, though it is well to 
eur or a few strokes in order to be on the safe side. You should use unusual caution in 
such a case. 

(4) If you know nothing whatever about a player, you should not give him a handi- 
cap. No one has any inherent right to a handicap. All players, theoretically, should start 
at scratch; the burden of proof is always on the player to show that he is entitled to a 
handicap. The chief cause of bad and unfair handicapping is the very general custom 
of starting a new member with a high handicap—often the limit—and allowing him to 
come down at his own convenience, picking up a few prizes on the way. We submit that 
you should allot no handicaps which you do not know to be safe. It is much better to 
leave such players off your list; if they want ratings, they can obtain them by furnishing 
you with data from which to compute them. 

(5) You are sometimes justified in taking other things into consideration, such as a 
man’s age. With a young player who has been coming on fast, it is sometimes well to 
reduce his Best Score Average arbitrarily a stroke or two below that which is produced by 
your average of his three best scores. In the case of a man beyond middle age who long 
ago attained a degree of skill which he has never been able to improve upon, it is fair, 
after calculating his actual Best Score Average, to add a stroke or two, because his 
“chance to improve’”’ is slight. 

But in general the Best Score Average is obtained by taking the average of the three 
best scores; and then, if in any doubt as to a player’s playing form, a stroke or two should 
be deducted before deciding finally upon the proper Best Score Average. 

(6) Having made, on separate sheets of paper, an alphabetical list of the members to 
whom you are to allot handicaps, and having written after each player’s name his Best 
Score Average as calculated from your records and other data, and in accordance with 
directions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 above, a glance at the Handicap Table will show, in each case, 
the proper handicap. Took at the Table for the Best Score Average, and then look for 
the handicap in the vertical column headed by the Par which corresponds with the Par for 
your links. (The Table gives handicaps up to 27, which clubs will find useful for club 
events.) The names should then be transferred to this Report, each group to consist of 
players who have the same handicap. ; 

(7) If you have a nine-hole links, calculate your Best Score Averages on the basis 
of a double round, and multiply the Par of your links by two, in order to arrive at an 
eighteen-hole Par which will enable you to use the Handicap Table. | 

OTE—This system can be used by clubs in handicapping their players for club 
events, If it is preferred in such events, to handicap on the basis of Bogey the above 
Table can be used unless Bogey is more than 76; in such case the proper table can easily 
be drawn up from above model. Whenever a player improves his game at his home club, 
his Best Score Average will come down, and a glance at the Table will give his proper 
reduced handicap. To get the best results, the club handicap committees should keep a 
card index showing the records of players in stroke competitions. This will enable the 
committee to keep a line on each player’s Best Score Average. Club Committees are also 
advised to adopt a rule penalizing players who do not return cards in stroke competitions 
An effective penalty is to bar such playcrs from playing in the next club event.
